with great cruelty, and has rendered it inn
possible for her to live with him.
The Mccarthy divorce case, wherein

divorces were unknown. Mr.. Mccarthy
swore that ne and Mrs. Mccarthy were
married i'll Minneapolis in 1885, and lived
together until Feb. %, 1887. when his wife
became criminally intimate with Frank

with him (Graudy.) Mrs. McCarthys
daughter testified to her mothers shame
and divorce was granted.

her husband. John W. Thomas. Testi-
mony was introduced which fully corrob-
grated her story and divorce was granted

ton. The parties were married at Marion,
Wis, Aug. %, 1877. and lived together
until May, 1880, when Mr. Merton left.

80 years. related sad story of desertion on

Ch1orOfOrna Versus Ether.
New York Times.

NEW YOrk Times.
At the meeting of the New York Academy
of Medicine last evening DR.. Arpad 4.
Gerster read paper Oh The Comparative
Danger OF the Use of Chloroform and
Ether as Anesthetcs." His own expert
ence as hospital surgeon, DR.. Gerster
said, showed hill that chloroform was the
more powerful, and therefore the more lm-
mediately dangerous; but it had no second
ally effects. Ether, while less potent and
causing fewer deaths on the operating
table, induced many evil secondary effects,
especially where the patient had kinney,
lung or heart troubles. In these latter
cases, consequently, he thought chloroform
should be preferred. In the general dis
cussion of the paper several doctors pro-
duced statistics to prove that ether had
caused fewer deaths than chloroform. Dr..
Gerster.iaIn summing up. said he didn't
value the statistics adduced. because the
ether deaths were suppressed, while the
chlorOfOrm deaths We're on the operating
table.

CHICAGO, April 16.-John W. O'Connor,
better known as Billy" Connors, was held
10 the federal grand jury to-day by Com
missioner Hoyne on charge that he, with
Bobby" Adams participated i'll the Min
neapolis postotfiee robbery. The bail was
placed S5. 600. In the examination, eX
Postmaster Laraway. of Minneapolis testi-
led TO the robbing of the postottice on the
night of July 9, 1886, and Identified the
stamps produced by Inspector kidfier. John
z. Hoy. detective from Minneapolis, sad
he saw O'ConnOr at Minneapolis at the time
of the robbery in company with Bobby"
Adams, and at st. Paul the morning after
the burglary The most direct evidence
against the prisoner was given by Attorney
a. B. LoomiS. of Minneapolis. That gen
tleman said he saw Bobby" Adams and
O'ConnOr in restaurant nearly opposite
the pOStoffice at late hour on the night the
burglary was committed. District Attorney
Ewing then rested the prosecution when
Mrs. Mary O'Connor. mother of the priS-
oner. took the stand and said her son was
in Chicago at the time the burglary was
committed. On cross examination, how
ever. she became mixed and admitted that
at one time her son was out of the city. 1t
was intimated by the prosecution that they
possessed confession of Bobby" Adams
which implicated O'Connor in the burglary.

not more mystery in this world than the
longevity of evil.
Macon Telegraph: Formerly people who
intended to become actors were wont to

New Orleans Picayune: A good position

thing how thoroughly well good people
know how much other good people could
give and ought to give, and yet how much
they themselves are in the dark as to their

The Fatal scarle. Thread.

A Paris correspondent, in speaking of
murderers in Paris, says: LESS atrocious,
and yet with curious sensational element
involved in it's details, was the murder of a
wealthy old gentleman, NJ. Talabard, for
which the jury of the Allier has just con-
demned a young soldier named Redon to
Imprisonment at hard labor for life. The
evidence was wholly circumstantial, and
the young man would probably have been
acquitted had it not been for two circllm-
stances. One was his previous bad charac-
ter. The other formed the minute link
that connected him personally with the
deed. On the towel with which the muir
derer had cleansed himself from the bloody
traces OF his work was found single scar
let thread. This thread was proven to be a
raveling from the red cloth of pair of
military pantaloons, and this slight and
irrefutable evidence brought about the
condemnation of the accused.

The Fata! Shot.

Drs. Quinby and S1aro made a post
mortem examination of the body of Chester
w. Green. which arrived in this city yes
terday from Jamestown, n. Y. The eX-
animation was made at the request of rela-
tives here. 1t was found that the fatal
bullet entered the neck about two inches
above the right clavicle, passed through the
windpipe, fractured the second rib, passed
through the left lung. broke the fourth rib
on the left side. and was found under the
skin. The fact that the ball penetrated so
far would indicate that the person who shot
Green fired at very close range. The body

Some curious blunders are constantly
growing out of the want of connection be-
tween the news and editorial departments of
one Of the Minneapolis morning papers. The
editor is not Informed of local affairs, yet in
sists on editOrialy commenting on them, and
the result is some very ludicrOus blunders
For instance. yesterday morning this paper
said:
The new Democratic council, operating last
Tuesday in the manner of the new broom"
removed from the Office of meat inspector
DR.. w. T. Lee ana appointed in his stead one
Peter Cos.
1t would be almost impossible to crowd
more errors into the same space. In the
first place nobody was removed-his term ex-
pired. Seconds, 1t was DR.. John Lee and
not w. T. Lee whose term expired. Next, it
was not Peter Cos who was elected, it was
Thomas F. Nlea, butcher and man we'll
qualified for the place. DR.. Shaws thoughts
are doubtless with his brethren in Plymouth
and he is above gaining information of so
earthly a thing as a city Office.

The New Process Used at the Burial -
David =. Themas st Niagara Falls.
buffalo, N. r, Jan. S0.-The funeral Of
David h. Thomas, late Superintendent Of
the Erie railroad, took place at Suspension
Bridge this afternoon. A delegation Of
Buffalo people, including the board Of
health were present to witness the new
ana .stic process Of fermentation" which
the remains were to be treated to. The
grave was sixteen inches larger each
way than usual. Eight inches Of cement
were then put in the open grave,
and the outer case WAS lowered 90 as to
set sQuarely upon the cement, leaving .
small trench eight and . half inches wide
about the case, the upper surface Of Il bs.
ing eight inches lower than the surface Of
the ground. The trench was then filled
with cement and the casket lowered into
the case. The cover was screwed on and
eight inches more Of cement placed over It,
bringing the surface Of the cement level
with the ground. The process produced .
favorable impression on the spectators.
The process by which It was at first pro-
posed to bury the body was to place fno
sulphur and powdered charcoal, with alco
hol between the cssket and outer case.
Then setting are to it, screw the lid on, the
object being to absorb all liquids in the
body and neutralize the gas arising from
the body. The gas generated by the burn
ing sulphur would prevent decomposition.
Among other advantages this form Of
burial secures is its protection from grave
robbers,
